zombiezen.com/go/sqlite

This package provides a low-level Go interface to SQLite 3. It is a fork of crawshaw.io/sqlite that uses modernc.org/sqlite, a CGo-free SQLite package. It aims to be a mostly drop-in replacement for crawshaw.io/sqlite.

This package deliberately does not provide a database/sql driver. See David Crawshaw's rationale for an in-depth explanation. If you want to use database/sql with SQLite without CGo, use modernc.org/sqlite directly.

Features

• Full SQLite functionality via modernc.org/sqlite, an automatically generated translation of the original C source code of SQLite into Go
• Builds with CGO_ENABLED=0, allowing cross-compiling and data race detection
• Allows access to SQLite-specific features like blob I/O and user-defined functions
• Includes a simple schema migration package
• Utilities for running embedded SQL scripts using the Go 1.16 embedding feature
• A go fix-like tool for migrating existing code using crawshaw.io/sqlite
• A simple REPL for debugging

Install

go get zombiezen.com/go/sqlite

While this library does not use CGo, make sure that you are building for one of the supported architectures.

Getting Started

import (
  "fmt"

  "zombiezen.com/go/sqlite"
  "zombiezen.com/go/sqlite/sqlitex"
)

// ...

// Open an in-memory database.
conn, err := sqlite.OpenConn(":memory:", sqlite.OpenReadWrite)
if err != nil {
  return err
}
defer conn.Close()

// Execute a query.
err = sqlitex.ExecTransient(conn, "SELECT 'hello, world';", func(stmt *sqlite.Stmt) error {
  fmt.Println(stmt.ColumnText(0))
  return nil
})
if err != nil {
  return err
}

If you're creating a new application, see the package examples or the reference docs.

If you're looking to switch existing code that uses crawshaw.io/sqlite, take a look at the migration docs.
